If you are planning to change your wardrobe to look different this 2021 and renew energy without investing a lot of money to achieve it, Ana Jiménez, country manager of GoTrendier, a sustainable fashion business, offers some recommendations to dress with style and on a budget.
The first thing to do, according to the fashion specialist, to reinvent the closet, “is to know what we have in the closet. Many times we buy clothes and forget those clothes after two or three poses. Sometimes we do not analyze before buying and many of us happen that we already had something similar. Another point is to bet on quality basic garments and buy more trendy seasonal products that we can combine with at least three basic ones that we already have, to get the most out of them without spending too much ”.
On GoTreinder, users (even famous ones) sell used clothing in good condition at low cost.

What criteria should we take into account when renovating the closet? What clothes to leave and which ones to take out?
One of the first rules to clean our closet is to let go of what we have not put on in the last twelve months. Get rid of garments that no longer match our size or style, to make room for new ones to enter.
How to give a new use to clothes?
There are many ways. The most important thing is to continue using it, either customizing it to give it a renewed look (change buttons, cutting lengths, etc.) or transforming it into another piece, a cushion or a balaca or if it is in good condition and we do not want to continue using it, we can sell it on a platform like GoTrendier so that another girl can continue to use it.

The most sustainable thing is to donate the clothes that are not used or to give them a new use, transforming or combining them.

Count on basic clothes to help you complete your ‘outfit’. Don’t forget the accessories to spice up the look. When combining, count on neutrals like white or black. Do not abuse the patterns, follow color ranges or play with contrasts.

Give us tips to renovate the closet in an environmentally friendly way …
Take care of clothes so that they last as long as possible, know our body and style, so we will buy what goes with us and use the pieces we have, bet on natural fibers (garments that can later be easily recycled without generating polluting waste), choose quality so that they last longer, find that they are versatile and can be combined easily, exchange clothes with friends or buy them on second-hand platforms like GoTrendier.
What garments are essential?
The basics: a jean, black pants, a white shirt, a black blazer, a biker jacket and two pairs of shoes, some black and some brown.
In what way are applications helping to have a functional closet?
Apps have made our closet circular. Until now it was a funnel in which many things entered, but almost nothing came out and now we can rotate the garments, easily get rid of what we no longer use and acquire new pieces at a cheaper cost. We can increase circularity and always have what we are using, freeing up space and generating extra income.
What myths do not go when combining clothes?
Some myths that no longer work is that tennis shoes cannot be worn with formal garments such as blazers or dresses, or that the bag must match the color of the shoes, that patterns cannot be mixed. There is already more freedom to create and combine.
